Story
(This part takes place after the weekend where Zatch and Kiyo fight Eshros and Shin and when met Kanchome and Folgore.)
Normal POV.
"Hurry up!" Rahkshi shouted, running as fast as he could into his school, even though school doesn't start for awhile.
"What's the big deal anyway?" his mamodo was flying next to his book owner.
"I called Lori if she's okay after what happened before, but she didn't answer. I went to her house to see if she's okay, but she isn't there. So basically she has to be at school, no move faster!" Rahkshi ran faster than before. The teen almost slipped when he turned the corner and ran pass the school gates. Before long, the 15 year old boy and the 6 year old boy ran into the school and up the second level.
Rahkshi had a bad feeling inside, and a feeling that it's all gonna get worse. His running reduced to walking when he and Zero came up to Rahkshi's class. There stood the 16 year old girl Lori, so far the only student in the class.
My POV.
When I opened my classroom's door, there stood Lori, looking out the window. A very depressed look was on her face; it shocked me. What's wrong with her? I wanted to find out what's wrong with her, so I placed my back pack on my desk and walked to her side.
"Lori?" I spoke softly next to her. Lori turned to see me. Her face was expressing depression and tears were slowly pouring from her eyes; I shocked me into pure depression and concern as well. "Lori, what's happened? What's wrong." I was so concerned for her. She didn't answer, but turned around and looked out the window instead. I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Please, tell me what happened. I want to help."
I don't know if she thinks my words were true or not, but at least she isn't turning away again. "It's Kolulu." I heard her words; they were filled with pain and sorrow. "I found out that... she had a another personality. A personality that forces her to fight against her will. Therefore, she had to go back to the mamodo world, where she can never fight again." more tears went down her cheeks. "She had to go back, and I can never see her again. My sister is gone, I don't want to be alone again, but I am. My sister's gone. Kolulu, my little sister... is gone."
Normal POV.
"My sister." Lori said again, with tears running down her face. Zero's grin reduced to a frown.
'I've had enough of this. How can Odaka think that someone like Kolulu is her own sister? That... angers me.'
My POV.
Lori's words went deep... very deep. The pain I use to see in her eyes back on the first day of school, where I first saw. That pain is back, and worse than ever. Tears still down her face. It was too painful; I can not bare it. Something wet was going down my right cheek. I placed my finger on it; I was... crying.
I couldn't hold it back. I gave in to sadness and like that, more tears went down my face. Why? Because... I know how Lori feels. My sister Fio, when she passed away... and I never saw her again. Now Lori feels was I felt, no, what I still feeling. I can't bare to see Lori feeling the same pain that I feel. I want to help her. I want to be there for her. I want to comfort her.
I saw Lori stopped crying to see me crying. I was crying for her. I want to comfort. "Lori," I manage to spoke. I can't hold it back anymore. I went up close to her, looking up at her and her looking down at me. I can't hold it back anymore. I gently put my arms around her, embracing her with comfort. "Please don't cry anymore, Lori. I can't bare to see you so upset, it's too painful for me. As I said before, I'll never leave you. Please stop crying." the pain was tearing my heart away, I cried harder as I bury my face in Lori's shoulder. It was hard to tell through my crying, but I think for sure that Lori stopped crying... but I can't stop crying.
But I felt a finger brushing the tears from my face. I looked to see it was Lori. I felt her return my embrace. How stupid of me, to act like such a crying infant in front of Lori. Now I don't even know if I had a reason or right to cry for her. Damn it, I'm so stupid!
"SHUT UP!"
Normal POV.
"SHUT UP!" both teens stopped to look at a very pissed Zero. "How can you two be whining like infants for someone like Kolulu? And you!" the hybrid point an accusing finger at Lori. The female teen began to tremble in fear of the mamodo boy.
"You and her were NEVER sisters to begin with! You two aren't related in anyway! You don't know her like I do! After what she did to me!" Zero was furious. He took his nightshirt-like cloak off and grabbed hold of the zipper on the back of his leotard. "Answer me this, Odaka. Do you honestly want to love and care for someone like Kolulu who lies to you about not wanting fight? Especially after she would do something like this? LOOK!" Instead of pulling down the zipper, he furiously tore part of the back of his leotard right off. Lori was scared beyond belief by what she sees: A large scar on Zero's back, that looks exactly like the wound Kolulu inflicted on Rahkshi. Rahkshi however, understood why Zero hates Kolulu so much. It was the night they got back home after Kolulu attacked Rahkshi. The teen asked Zero why, yet Zero warned him of what would happened. Zero told Rahkshi that he possess an ability to share his memories with others. A vision played in Rahkshi's mind, with Zero running into a forest, hoping to escape an army of civilian mamodos who wanted to kill Zero for what Zero did as Goren's weapon. He was injured by Kolulu, who attacked him by her OWN FREE WILL, in her fighting form.
Rahkshi's snapped out of his thoughts by Zero's voice. "You two may love each other for all I care, but remember this and remember this good! She was never your sister and she never will be. You two are just mamodo and human partner, nothing more and nothing less!" and with that, Zero grabbed his cloak and stormed out of the classroom.
"Lori, I'm so sorry, I don't know what has gotten into him. I'm sorry." Rahkshi embraced Lori again in comfort for what happened to Kolulu.
Zero's POV.
What the hell just happened back there? Why did I have to go and be such an asshole at Rahk? Damn it, I'm just so frustrated and stressed out over what has happened to me these past few days. From when Penny mistook me for some guy named Zatch, or Scratch, or whatever his face was.
Then there was the time when Kolulu attacked Rahk. That pissed me off.
But what really pissed me off to my limit was another mamodo I met probably by the time when me and Rahk got back from Europe. It was at Rahk's stupid school, I had to spend the entire day in the nurse's office. I was practically almost enjoying the fact that I was bored, until... she came into my life. Fonce Ying.
A dark mamodo who came from some filthy-stinking rich family in the Ever Night Forest. At first she seemed like an annoying fan who someone knew me and admired me instead of despising me. But when she started to... I shudder every time I say this: when she tries to flirt with, which I don't fall for at all. All of a sudden she has a quick change in personality into becoming even more annoying and just downright disgusting. The way she looks at me sends chills down my spine. The way she speaks to me sounds like a succubus or a female pervert. And worse of all, she's whack!
And she calls herself evil incarnate? Hm, my ass! She may be weird, crazy, and evil, but she's no evil incarnate. To me, she's annoying pest incarnate. She's the main reason why I'm so frustrated and stressed out to end up snapping at Rahk. I need to make it up to him.
Huh? A mamodo is nearby, I can sense its aura. Its near, very near. There's the mamodo, sitting up at the top of a tree sleeping. Wait... this aura... it's familiar. So familiar that there's only one mamodo who has this aura. It's can't be, it just can't be. Is it really her?
The only for me to find out was to go and see. My wings sprouted from my back and I flew into the air. I came straight at the mamodo at surprising speed, and ran straight into her. It caused us both to fall out of the tree and towards the ground. Fortunately, we landed on a pile of leaves.
"Hey, let me go!" the mamodo struggled, but she's not getting away that easily.
"Well, what if I don't want?" I asked her. She stopped struggling and looked up at me.
"Zero?" the mamodo asked. I smiled.
"Wonderful to be with you again... Arisha."
